Former President of Taiwan, Chen Shui-Bian, has been jailed for 6 years. He has health problem for all these years and was sent to hospitals for detailed examinations. It is found that Former President Chen is suffering from various illnesses, such as sleep apnea and loss of bladder control caused by the brain degeneration, which also lead to the fatal dangers to his life including choking and suffocation, blow to the head due to accidental falls.

According to international human rights principles, convicted inmates should not be denied their basic human rights for medical treatments.
Former President Chen, with serious illnesses, should receive immediate and proper medical treatments in a specialized medical facility, not staying in jail.

基於醫療人權原則，我們呼籲盡速讓前總統陳水扁保外就醫

台灣前總統陳水扁已經被關6年多，這些年來他的身體狀況一直不好，被送至醫院做詳細的檢查。

前總統陳水扁被診斷出腦部額顳葉病變導致的多重功能退化，例如睡眠呼吸中止症與尿失禁，還有可能因嗆到而導致窒息，以及意外跌倒撞到頭部等致命危險。

就算是受刑人也有接受醫療的基本人權，這是普世人權的核心價值。陳前總統罹患多種疾病，需要在專門的醫院接受立即且合適的治療，而不是在監獄裡。

保外就醫

依監獄行刑法第五十八條之規定有下列情形之一：
(一) 受刑人現罹疾病，在監內不能為適當之醫治者。
(二) 受刑人衰老或殘廢不能自理生活者。
(三) 懷胎五月以上或分娩後未滿二月者。
